[Dailydrool] Snow-blasted US

[Kay, Nancy K *HS]

Becky,

Thanks for worrying about us folks here in the mid-Atlantic region of the US-of-A!  We live in central Virginia, about 2 hours south of DC, and we had 14" of very wet, very heavy snow over the last 36 hours. The main side effect is wide-spread power outages caused by falling trees onto power lines, and roads with 2-feet of snow between the repair crews and the electrical line problems. We lost power early this morning (5am), and are among the fortunate since it came back on about 6 hours later. There are many who will be without electricity for 2-3 days, and the temps are supposed to fall into the lower teens tonight (had to look it up, 12F = -11C !) We all snuggled under blankets all morning - here's what it looked like from Frank's perspective: http://www.pbase.com/notawahoo/image/121738266 We hope the power stays on, but if not, we think we can make it to our daughter's house where they haven't had any flickering lights!
